🐾 Meet the K‑9 Team 🐾
👮♂️ Deputy Jacob Ostrowski & 🐕 K‑9 Ruckus
Deputy Ostrowski has been in law enforcement for 13 years, serving 5 years with the Shawano Sheriff's Office, and has been partnered with K‑9 Ruckus for about a year and a half.
K‑9 Ruckus is a highly trained working dog skilled in detecting narcotics, tracking fleeing or missing people, locating discarded items with human scent, and physically apprehending or protecting when needed; making him an essential partner in keeping his handler and community safe.
Deputy Ostrowski describes Ruckus as a sweet but stubborn little brother at heart. Noting that Ruckus is a high‑drive Belgian Malinois who can flip from a fearless, stand‑your‑ground intensity to a loving, loyal boy who adores his mama and handler. ❤️🐾
Deputy Ostrowski and Ruckus trained in Beaton, Ontario, Canada at Working K9.ca with the lead trainers, Tony Pallotta and Rue McCloskey, who are described as wonderful people and masters of their craft. 🇨🇦🎓
Together, they form one of the most dedicated teams playing a vital role in keeping Shawano County safe. 💙🚓
